Notably, African American women carry the largest percentage of student loan debt of any other group. Shared Harvest | m圜ovidMD aims to reduce health care disparities and the intergenerational wealth gap exacerbated by ballooning student loan debt totals. As a part of Shared Harvest, m圜ovidMD works with volunteer CHPs that include trained doctors, nurses, PAs, CNAs, EMTs, therapists, social workers, nutrition coaches and other frontline health providers to offer free services. Volunteer professionals make up the network of Community Health Partners (CHPs), virtual COVID Crisis Counselors, assist with home wellness visits, and are the people power running the pop-up drive-thru testing events. Additionally, the funds granted by Ballmer Group will support the Student Loan Debt Relief Fund, which is an integral part of Shared Harvest’s volunteer reward program. The Ballmer Group’s donation will allow m圜ovidMD to further scale testing and connect healthcare volunteers and patients through their free online portal. Access to quality healthcare is limited in these communities, more so now than ever. This donation comes ahead of Shared Harvest’s crowdfunding campaign to raise $250K to expand access to testing for 10,000 Angelenos, eliminate $2M in student loan debt for frontline health providers, and to renew trust in the health system by operating culturally affirming pop-up testing sites and a contact tethering program in marginalized communities across the country.īallmer Group’s sizable contribution allows Shared Harvest | m圜ovidMD, the largest minority medical provider taskforce, founded by three African American women doctors, to expand their reach specifically in predominantly Black communities in South Los Angeles. M圜ovidMD, the empathy-driven community and tech-based testing and telehealth platform launched by Shared Harvest in March 2020, has received a generous $240K donation from Ballmer Group. ![]() Briana DeCuir, Nana Afoh-Manin, Joanne Moreau Photo credit: Rocco Ceselin Bianca
